Jazz Lovers: Have You Heard This Awesome Piece?

It's "Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall, Celebrating Miles Davis & John Coltrane"

Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove, with John Pitatucci and Brian Blade

Unbelievable! I don't know how I missed this recording but I'm so glad I came across it! It is possibly the best live jazz performance I ever listened to. The raw talent, musicianship, and creativity evokes such emotion that I bow down to this perfomance. I love Miles and Coltrane and this recording honors their legend and legacy in such a huge way. An excellent recording too. You better buy this one!!

Slowhand, I've been referring to the CD.

Haven't heard this yet, but I love Brian Blade's playing. He has an excellent understanding of how to kick a song along in an economical manner. I saw him with Joshua Redman's Elastic Band back when that album was released.

Gotta check out that recording. I was fortunate to catch Herbie with the same basic ensemble live in early '07 (minus Patitucci). Thanks Foster_9 for the recommendation!

Sorry about my spelling. In my original post it should say John Patitucci. By the way, Tvad, I have Neil Young at Massey Hall and you're right. In addition, I have to give credit to radioio.com jazz standards. That's where I heard a track from this recording and purchased the cd fast. (no space yet for a turntable)
